The Cadillac ATS is the entry-level vehicle in GM's luxury lineup. Launched as a compact four-door sedan for 2013, the ATS lineup acquired a second model, the ATS Coupe, for the 2015 model year.

The Cadillac ATS is the entry-level vehicle in GM's luxury lineup. Launched as a compact four-door sedan for 2013, the ATS lineup acquired a second model, the ATS Coupe, for the 2015 model year. In 2016, both body styles will receive high-performance ATS-V variants.

With brilliant handling and a good selection of features and powertrains, the ATS is a true rival for vehicles like the Audi A4, BMW 3-Series, Infiniti Q50, Lexus IS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Like the one-size-up Cadillac CTS, the ATS sports the latest evolution of Cadillac's dynamic Art & Science design vocabulary. Here, the angular forms of the first CTS have been toned down, with more gently integrated headlamps and softer character lines along the body. That lets the ATS blend in more easily with its luxury competitors, while still standing distinctively on its shorter wheelbase. The ATS's interior focuses on the driver, with a flowing design highlighted by ambient lighting and a range of available interior trim finishes, from wood to metal to carbon fiber.

The ATS rides on a new platform, shared with the larger CTS, that will eventually spin off a replacement for the Chevy Camaro. The ATS sedan comes in rear- or all-wheel-drive form. The sedan's base powerplant is a 2.5-liter direct-injection four-cylinder with 202 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque; a turbocharged 2.0-liter four is rated at 272 hp and, at launch, had 260 lb-ft of torque. The top engine choice for standard models is GM's 3.6-liter direct-injection V-6, rated at 318 horsepower and 267 pound-feet of torque.

Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions are available. The base model delivers fuel economy of 22/32 mpg, and a 0–60-mph time of 7.5 seconds. The turbo four returns the same fuel economy, while its 0–60-mph time drops to 5.7 seconds; with the 321-hp V-6, 60 mph arrives in 5.4 seconds, and gas mileage checks in at 19/28 mpg. In part, the strong fuel economy and acceleration figures are due to the ATS's relatively low curb weight of 3,400 pounds. The suspension is fully independent, and the ATS's weight is balanced at 50:50 front to rear. Handling is not just on par with its primary German competition--we think it's superior in many ways.

Like all other current Caddys, the ATS features Cadillac's new CUE infotainment system. CUE uses an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen on the dash and a 5.7-inch reconfigurable screen in the gauge cluster to control everything from navigation and audio, to climate control and vehicle settings. Like Ford's MyFord Touch, CUE can be operated by voice commands as well. The instrument panel also has touch-sensitive buttons that can control main audio and climate-control functions quickly. It's a controversial setup that has its glaring flaws and technical hiccups.

The ATS backs up the in-cabin tech with a myriad of safety features including eight standard airbags and StabiliTrak. The IIHS hasn't yet rated the ATS--but the NHTSA gives the new luxury sedan five stars overall, an excellent score for a compact sedan. Optional technology includes full-speed, range-adaptive cruise control, Intelligent brake assist, brake pre-fill automatic collision preparation, and much more. With all this optional technology available, Cadillac is not only looking towards the technology and driving-enthusiast crowd, but the safety-conscious crowd as well.

Changes for 2015 include the addition of an ATS coupe model. It shares most of the sedan's styling but has a slightly wider track and sheetmetal to match. The base 2.5-liter four is not available in the coupe, which instead starts at the turbo 2.0 and offers the 3.6 V-6 as an option. The manual is available on the turbo four here as it is on the sedan, and both rear- and all-wheel drive will be offered on automatic-transmission models. The 2015 ATS coupe and sedan are also some of the first models to wear Cadillac's new wreathless crest logo.

Also for the 2015 model year, the four-cylinder turbo gets a significant upgrade to 295 pound-feet of torque—an increase of 14 percent; horsepower remains constant at 272 hp. The engine's smoothness issues have also been addressed as part of the reprogramming and updates.

On the feature sheet, the ATS starts out well in base form, with a host of available upgrades to take the sedan or coupe well into high-tech luxury territory. Navigation; expanded media connectivity including USB, SD and Bluetooth audio streaming; wireless phone charging; WiFi hotspot; CUE infotainment; all of these and more can be had in the 2015 ATS.

For 2016, the big addition to the ATS lineup will be the long-awaited V model, which packs a 450-hp version of the brand's twin-turbo 3.6-liter V-6. Upgrades include plenty of stiffening hardware, big Brembo brakes, performance-tuned Magnetic Ride Control dampers, and a carbon-fiber hood, while other carbon add-ons will be available for the exterior. The ATS-V will be offered in both sedan and coupe bodies, with the choice of either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
